Abstract:RuCo/acid-treated nickel foam (ANF) has been reported to be an excellent electrocatalyst for the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). In this study, we perform plasma treatment with Ar, Ar/H2 (95:5), and Ar/O2 (95:5) as working gases for surface modification to explore the effect on HER performance. The developed electrocatalysts are tested in an alkaline solution (1 M KOH); the results show that Ar/H2 (95:5) plasma treatment significantly improves the electrocatalytic activity of RuCo/ANF, achieving an overpote… Show more
